Actually, I have done this.

It is fairly straightforward to do. The extra hassle is that if you are
a programmer for hire it is best to get your employer to also allow your
work to be assigned as well. That sometimes takes you thru interesting
internal mazes until you find the appropriate authority that is able to
grant such permission.

        Enjoy!
